Production of tambaqui and of the tambatinga and tambacu hybrids: Performance, morphometric traits, and body yield

This study evaluates the performance, morphometric traits, and body yield of the freshwater fish tambaqui, and of the tambatinga and tambacu hybrids. These fish were reared in cages with a 6 m3 usable volume, during three production phases: (I) 0–77 d of rearing (600 fish/cage), (II) 77–264 d of rea...

Description
Summary:This study evaluates the performance, morphometric traits, and body yield of the freshwater fish tambaqui, and of the tambatinga and tambacu hybrids. These fish were reared in cages with a 6 m3 usable volume, during three production phases: (I) 0–77 d of rearing (600 fish/cage), (II) 77–264 d of rearing (200 fish/cage), and (III) 264–402 d of rearing (100 fish/cage). In total, 5400 fish from three genetic groups were used in each experimental group (replicated three times). Phase I showed no significant difference in performance between the genetic groups. The exceptions to this were the condition factor and body height, which were highest (p
